Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Corsham Court, Chippenham. - On the death of Robert Pemberton Milnes. Saw the news in the newspaper of the 'sad event' which prevented Milnes's visit. Quite true that Broughton's friend Charles [Skinner] Matthews compared Robert Pemberton Milnes to 'the admirable [James] Crichton - referring to his intellectual power & his physical energy & agility'; this was said on seeing Milnes 'jump over a very high gate hunting'.
